Alexi’s frown deepens as Malik’s lips press against my temple, breaking the stare off between Alexi and me. Blinking up at my favorite red-head, I smile serenely as my gaze meets his, happiness rippling through my veins when he adds another kiss to my forehead before stepping back.
“Ignore him, he’s an asshole and we all know it.” He offers me a wink before his eyes trail over the cookies, a warm smile spreading across his face. “I love that you still make them. Make sure to save me one for after I’ve showered, yeah?”
I shiver at the feel of his fingertips running down my spine as he steps away, and I practically swoon as I watch him head back toward the doorway, side-stepping Alexi, who continues to glare at me. I quirk a brow at him and he shakes his head when he can’t seem to summon a response before he spins on the spot and marches for the stairs.
That leaves two.
Sighing, I look to my left at where Talon remains, arm still firmly around my shoulders as he grins down at me. I’m too lost in his baby blues, so I don’t realize he’s grabbing one of the cookies before it’s too late.
“Hey, they’re hot.” I swat at his arm, but he simply chuckles in response as he demolishes the cookie in two bites.
“You’re forgetting about the magic, Harm. Hot or not, it doesn’t make a difference.” I shake my head at him in disbelief, turning to face him head on as he shifts too, placing his hands at my waist so that we stand chest to chest.
One of his arms bands around my back as he reaches for two more cookies, holding it between us this time with a playful glint in his eyes. This fucker knows exactly what he’s doing to me. With his bare chest pressed against mine, the giddy aura that fills the air around us, and the sweet treat hanging between us, I’m a total goner.
When he doesn’t move, I lift up on my tiptoes, hands gliding over his pecs as I go, but just as I reach the cookie, he moves it out of reach. Glaring at him, I see the challenge he’s laid before me and I’m completely undeterred as I lift my hand to grab it, only for him to move it to the side.
“You think you’re real funny, don’t you?” I grumble, a small smile playing at the corners of my mouth as I wag my finger at him. He smirks in response and shrugs, and I know I’m going to have to beat him at his own game here.
Without another thought, I lock eyes with him as I edge on my tiptoes a little higher, bringing my mouth to his as my breath lodges in my throat. His lips are soft-yet-firm against mine, but more than anything, they’re frozen in place and it makes me smile on the inside, knowing I’ve caught him off guard.
I feel the moment his body shifts against mine, melting into my touch as I force myself to hold back. I take the window of opportunity, wrapping my hand around the warm cookie between us as I lean back, stuffing my face with the deliciousness as Talon gapes at me in a mixture of shock and awe.
Chewing the food in my mouth, I snatch the other cookie and hide it behind my back as I wait for his response to my actions. I expect a laugh, a playful fight between us for the remaining cookie, or something else all Talon-esque.
What I don’t expect is the growl vibrating at the base of his throat or the need burning bright in his eyes as his hands squeeze my hips with determination, lifting me into the air before depositing me on the edge of the counter in one swift move.
My heart thunders in my chest as my breaths come quicker and sharper, our eyes fixed on each other as we stare into the depths of each other’s souls. Playfulness transforms into desire between us and I’m left frozen in place when I watch him watch me gulp, his eyes transfixed on my throat for a moment before flicking back to my eyes.
Slowly, Talon takes the cookie from my hand, discarding it on the countertop beside me as he trails his tongue over his bottom lip. “You have some crumbs…” His words trail off as he moves his hand to my mouth, swiping at the corner. Each stroke of his thumb against my skin grows heavier and slower and my core clenches, the memory of my mouth pressed against his seconds earlier repeating in my mind.
Talon’s hand moves to cup my cheek, holding me in place as he steps between my thighs, eliminating the remaining distance between us.
I feel light-headed, consumed, and desperate to taste whatever it is he’s willing to offer.
As if reading my thoughts, he inches closer, his lips a mere inch from mine as his eyes bore into me. “Say yes, Harm.”
His words hang between us for a moment, my breath lodged in my throat, but when I finally manage to take a deep inhale, my answer falls from my lips with the exhale.
“Yes.”
A rush of nausea sweeps through me as Talon uses his magic to transport us upstairs, leaving me to cling to him for a second until the feeling goes away. Finally able to take in my new surroundings, I’m surprised to find us in the bathroom upstairs.
My ass is firmly planted on the vanity with Talon still standing between my legs as he grins down at me. Need swirls in his eyes as I lift my hands to his shoulders. We both move together, our lips colliding in one swift move as no words are needed.
Hungry and desperate, yet intrigued, I feel like we explore each other's mouths for hours. His sexy five o’clock shadow leaves my skin raw, but it doesn’t stop me from going back for more. Talon’s hands rake over my body, but with every pass of his hands, I get angrier and angrier at the clothes that separate us.
This man was made to know my body even better than I do myself, because with the next breath, Talon leans back, hands gripping the sweetheart neckline of my floral-print dress, before tearing the material in two.
Gaping in surprise and desire, I let the spaghetti straps fall down my arms as my body is exposed to him. In a lilac bra and panty set, I watch as Talon takes me in, his eyes darkening with every second that passes.
“Last time I had you in here, just like this, I was desperate to taste your honey.” A shiver ripples down my spine, the movement noticeable and he smirks at me, knowingly.
I cling to his shoulders, my nails biting into his skin with my own need as I offer him a sultry grin in response. “What’s stopping you then?”
I don’t know who the fuck I am or where the confidence for those words came from, but I’m fucking proud of myself. Especially when his pupils blow before me. It seems I’m not the only one who appreciates the purr in my tone.
Talon grips my chin, pulling my mouth to his in a final, brutal kiss, before he drops to his knees. The sound of him hitting the ground reverberates through my body, making my chest heave harder and faster as I look down at the shirtless man who has me twisted in knots.
